Psalms 7
1 A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Cush, the son of Jemini. O Lord, my God, in you I have hoped. Save me from all those who persecute me, and free me:
Sigaiona nataon’ i Davida, izay nohirainy ho an’ i Jehovah noho ny tenin’ i Kosy Benjamita. Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, Hianao no ialofako; vonjeo aho amin’ izay rehetra manenjika ahy, ka afaho;
2 lest at any time, like a lion, he might seize my soul, while there is no one to redeem me, nor any who can save.
Fandrao ny fanahiko viravirainy tahaka ny fanaon’ ny liona, ary kepokepohiny, ka tsy misy mamonjy.
3 O Lord, my God, if there is iniquity in my hands, if I have done this:
Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, raha nanao izany aho; raha misy heloka eto an-tanako;
4 if I have repaid those who rendered evils to me, may I deservedly fall away empty before my enemies:
Raha namaly ratsy izay tsara fihavanana tamiko aho, novonjeko aza izay nampahory ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana
5 let the enemy pursue my soul, and take hold of it, and trample my life into the earth, and drag down my glory into the dust. (Pause)
Dia aoka ny fahavalo hanenjika ny fanahiko ka hahatratra azy; eny, aoka izy hanitsaka ny aiko amin’ ny tany, ary hampandry ny voninahitro amin’ ny vovoka. (Sela)
6 Rise up, Lord, in your anger. And be exalted to the borders of my enemies. And rise up, O Lord my God, according to the precept that you commanded,
Jehovah ô, mitsangàna amin’ ny fahatezeranao; misandrata hisakana ny fisafoaky ny mpampahory ahy; ary mifohaza hanampy ahy, fa didy marina no navoakanao;
7 and a congregation of people will surround you. And, because of this, return on high.
Aoka ny firenena maro hivory manodidina Anao; ary miverena ho any amin’ ny avo eo amboniny Hianao,
8 The Lord judges the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice and according to my innocence within me.
Jehovah hitsara ny firenena; Jehovah ô, tsarao aho araka ny fahamarinako sy ny tsi-fananako tsiny.
9 The wickedness of sinners will be consumed, and you will direct the just: the examiner of hearts and temperaments is God.
Aoka ho tapaka ny ratsy ataon’ ny ratsy fanahy, fa ampitoero kosa ny marina; fa Andriamanitra marina no mamantatra ny fo sy ny voa.
10 Just is my help from the Lord, who saves the upright of heart.
Ny ampingako dia ao amin’ Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy ny mahitsy fo.
11 God is a just judge, strong and patient. How could he be angry throughout every day?
Mpitsara marina Andriamanitra, eny Andriamanitra Izay tezitra isan’ andro.
12 Unless you will be converted, he will brandish his sword. He has extended his bow and made it ready.
Raha tsy ibebahana Izy, dia hanasa ny sabany; efa manenjana ny tsipìkany Izy ka manamboatra azy,
13 And with it, he has prepared instruments of death. He has produced his arrows for those on fire.
Ary ireo dia kendreny amin’ ny fiadiana mahafaty; ny zana-tsipìkany ataony mirehitra.
14 Behold him who has given birth to injustice: he has conceived sorrow and has begotten iniquity.
Indro, efa marary hiteraka zava-poana ireo; eny, torontoronina fampahoriana izy ary mitera-doza;
15 He has opened a pit and enlarged it. And he has fallen into the hole that he made.
Mihady lavaka izy ka manalalaka izany, dia latsaka ao anatin’ ny longoa nataony ihany izy;
16 His sorrow will be turned upon his own head, and his iniquity will descend upon his highest point.
Mitsingerina ho eo an-dohany ihany ny fampahoriany; ary eo an-tampon-dohany ihany no ianjeran’ ny loza nataony.
17 I will confess to the Lord according to his justice, and I will sing a psalm to the name of the Lord Most High.
Hidera an’ i Jehovah araka ny fahamarinany aho, ary hankalaza ny anaran’ i Jehovah Avo Indrindra.
